Roasted Tomato Gazpacho - Donna Hay

This week, in our Donna Hay group, we are making my choice of a recipe. I tend to gravitate to soups because we love them. I am not sure if I ever had gazpacho but if I did, it was not memorable. This gazpacho, at least to me, is memorable and I hope to make it often. Not only, did I have soup, last night but I have been drinking it, all day. OK, that is an exaggeration but I did have a number of mugs of this delicious soup.The cucumbers were perfect to float on top. Even, my husband commented on this. The crunch and subtle flavor was a balance to the stronger tasting soup.

Since hubby tends to get sick from garlic, I roasted an onion and then blended it with the other ingredients. I miss garlic but the onion did fill in the gap. The recipe is from Modern Classics: Book 1 by Donna Hay and can be found online here.
